For 2026 the team needs to be ready and firing for MSR through P-R. UAE needs to be absolutely focused on this period
I just want him to win MSR because this schedule from strade-LBL is just too long. If he wins MSR, he can still ride it but relaxed and not in optimal shape. Imagine Pogi peaking just for E3, GW, RVV and PR. Now he has three periods in spring 1)GC one week race, Strade , MSR, 2)Cobbles and 3)ardennes. Just too much.

I hope Remco can be there next year because his team can be a good ally to UAE.
That would be interesting. For me, M-SR delivered the best finale this spring. Although when I think about it, I don't see how another team would make much difference against van der Poel in such form. An absolute beast of a rider.

A pity that Petersen and Pogačar could not go all the way in P-R. Looking forward to his duels with Vingegaard. I hope everyone can be at his best this time.

Next year, I believe he will not race UAE Tour. He can probably start his season in SB and do a full peak for RVV/PR

Remco can help Pogacar in making the race harder before and during Cipressa. This is good for Pogacar because he needs a super hard race if he wants to drop MVP.

The difficult part was breaking the Cipressa, and he did it this year. Pogacar doesn't need Remco at San Remo. And Remo is useless for Pogacar in a sprint. .

I don't know who said he needed Remco in De Ronde too LOL. He's won the last two De Ronde.

But Soudal can help UAE in putting a harder pace and this will help Pogacar when he attacks on Cipressa.
I'm not convinced that another team would want to help make the race for Pogačar, but indeed trying to make the race as hard as possible might be the final puzzle piece. I'm looking forward to next year. Hope all protagonists make it back there.
